These guys just won't stop shitting their pants in public.

In an interview with Curtis Sliwa on ABC Radio last night, the host and RNC Chairman Michael Steele jokingly linked Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal to the film "Slumdog Millionaire." Steele offered Jindal "slum love.

Here's the transcript:

SLIWA: Now, using a little bit of that street terminology, are you giving him any Slum love, Michael?

STEELE: (laughter)

SLIWA: Because he is — when guys look at him and young women look at him — they say oh, that's the slumdog millionaire, governor. So, give me some slum love.

STEELE: I love it. (inaudible) ... some slum love out to my buddy. Gov. Bobby Jindal is doing a friggin' awesome job in his state. He's really turned around on some core principles — like hey, government ought not be corrupt. The good stuff ... the easy stuff.

1. Because...he's Indian like the movie?

Wow. So we're the racist party, huh?

[jpgray]

2. Steele (RNC chair) made the comparison in this case.

And yeah, it's still racist.

6. Hey, Steele grew up in a racist society; and joined a racist party, so had no opportunity to reform.

No need to be surprised that he's racist. Unlike the case with the sun's rays, melanin provides no immunity to soaking up racism from society.

3. Michael Steele vs. Chris Matthews

It's racist when Steele says something, but what about Chris Matthews? Didn't he say last night that the Republicans were "outsourcing" their response to Obama's speech--no less racist than anything Steele said? But Matthews was getting applauded on this forum. I wonder why

[nichomachus]

4. I don't know why anyone applauds Matthews. I can't even stand to listen to the guy.

5. Keep it up Steele

I really like that guy.

7. "Friggin' awesome" ???

8. Took them long enough!

I could have bet money that some GOP would say something about Jindal and Slumdog.

Damn these racists are predictable.
